Opposition and Unity

"As expected of the person chosen by Soul King, he guessed the answer immediately," Kichō Yasha exclaimed in admiration.

"Chosen?" Tsuna's expression changed. "You just met the Soul King not long ago?"

"Yes." Kichō Yasha lay half-reclined on the ground, not hiding anything, "Just recently, Soul King- King suddenly appeared in my dream and said that he wouldn't last much longer, and that he was sorry for the sacrifices our Kitetu Clan has made over the past thousand years."

"How ridiculous, Soul King! How do you know that our Kitetu Clan can definitely hold out?" Kichō Yasha asked, looking up.

"Excuse me, what do you mean?" Urahara felt a chill run down his spine. Was this just adding insult to injury?

"I may tell you, but the story begins a long time ago. Our ancestor, while personally participating in the ritual of dismembering Soul King Kitetu Clan, received a request from Soul King."

"Hell is a system independent of the Three Worlds. As time goes by, Hell will gradually grow until it completely devours the Three Worlds."

"In order to protect the safety of the Three Worlds, Soul King needs someone to slow down the expansion of Hell. You heard right, only slow it down, not stop it at all."

"Our ancestor had no interest in Soul King King's power to begin with, and coupled with the guilt of personally getting involved, he readily agreed, leading the Kitetu Clan into Hell until their complete demise."

"The Soul King did not send us into Hell empty-handed, but bestowed upon us two things."

At this point, Kichō Yasha turned to look at Ukitake, "Just like Lord Mimihagi on your body, Soul King Rei-ou gave our Kitetu Clan a part of his body, his left and right legs!"

Kichō Yasha uttered those startling words, the room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even Urahara didn't take notes; he simply used a recording device to record the story of the Kitetu Clan.

"Do you know what power Soul King King's left and right hands represent?"

Kichō Yasha Ukitake completely bewildered. He had a general understanding of the power in his right hand, but he had never even seen his left hand before, so how could he possibly know?

"Forward and stillness," Tsuna suddenly said.

"You know quite a lot." Kichō Yasha looked at Tsuna with newfound respect. "Then do you know the power of legs?"

Tsuna shook his head. The Soul King's legs—something he'd never even heard of. He never imagined the Soul King would throw them into Hell.

"The power of the two legs represents both opposition and unity. By using the power of the two legs, we disrupted the normal development of Hell, causing Hell internal forces to consume themselves, thus delaying Hell growth as much as possible."

"We will use opposition to make the will of Hell and the Sinners mortal enemies, and then use the power of unity to control the Hell Will and the Chains of Hell."

"We control them to continuously kill the Sinners enter Hell, thereby maximizing the depletion of Hell's power."

Kichō Yasha pointed at Tsuna and Ichigo, "You should all thank your similar physiques to Soul King Soul King for gaining his approval."

"So the Hell Will really is from Hell?" Ichigo asked.

"Of course, not everything can be controlled. The few variables were all eliminated by our family's heirloom artifacts on the second level."

"So all those corpses we saw on the second floor, were they all your doing?" Tsuna asked.

Kichō Yasha nodded. "Not bad, right? Using the power of Hell to fight Hell, such a strategy relies entirely on Soul King- King's power."

"But this plan has a very obvious drawback," Urahara asked thoughtfully, "What if Sinners emerges that is even more powerful than the Hell Will?"

In the case of the Kitetu Clan's forced selection process, a group of powerful rivals will inevitably gather together to resist the Kitetu Clan's attacks.

"You're right. This will cause a high concentration of powerful Sinners in Hell, ultimately creating Hell that belongs only to the Sinners."

"But what can we do? This is something that Hell and Soul King need to consider. Our Kitetu Clan has already paid enough." Kichō Yasha shrugged, looking somewhat nonchalant.

"I don't know if it's due to the interference of the aura of Hell, but the lifespan of our Kitetu Clan in Hell is much shorter than before. Even with our best efforts to reproduce, we can't escape the erosion of time."

"Now, there are only three people left in the Kitetu Clan: the head of the Kitetu Clan, myself, Kichō Yasha, and the other two who are maintaining Soul King- King's power to control the Hell Will and patrol Hell."

"It's a pity, they each have their own missions and can't reunite with Lady Mimihagi."

A few wisps of black smoke once again emanated from Ukitake's collar, seemingly to comfort Kichō Yasha. Kichō Yasha's strong heart, he only sobbed twice before the smoke subsided.

"To be honest, with the Hell Sinners growing stronger and the Kitetu Clan declining, I myself don't have the confidence to hold on for much longer."

"This is something I didn't expect. Before I could even report to Soul King, Soul King gave me an ultimatum that he could hold out for as long as possible."

"I've come to you because I sensed the presence of Lord Mimihagi. Now, I'm officially in charge as the head of the Kitetu Clan family to tell you: prepare for battle. The battle between Soul Society and Hell is inevitable. The exact timing will depend on whether we or Soul King fall first."

What you fear most is what comes to pass; even the Kitetu Clan couldn't withstand the pressure of Hell, Urahara could only face it with a bitter smile.

"What are you laughing at? This is a very serious matter!" Kichō Yasha was very displeased with Urahara's smile.

"The Soul King not only spoke to you some time ago, but also informed us of the crisis we will face in the future," Urahara explained.

"What? Soul King didn't even bother to inform us," Kichō Yasha complained slightly. "Now that you all know the situation, have you started making preparations?"

"The training program in Soul Society has always been on the agenda, but after arriving in Hell, we learned that the Sinners use a completely different power," Urahara explained.

"Resentment? It's said that if it weren't for Soul King King's legs, our ancestors would have been almost wiped out by the time they arrived here." Oni-gami Yasha's eyes were filled with reminiscence. "Those who are familiar with spiritual pressure really don't have a good way to deal with Resentment on their first encounter."

"Later, because of our instigation, we gained the support of the Hell Will, and naturally we didn't consider the issue of Resentment. Therefore, I have no way to make Bleach adapt to the battle of Resentment."

"However, I can give you all the information about Resentment that our Kitetu Clan has collected. The rest is up to you." Kichō Yasha was not entirely heartless.

"Thank you so much!" Urahara Kisuke bowed in gratitude, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Don't get your hopes up too high. Those are things left behind by our predecessors. The three of us wouldn't have the mind to make any records." Kitetu let Urahara Kisuke calm down before speaking.

"That's more than enough." It's certainly more direct to get data from professionals than to use Ichigo and Tsuna for research.

"Well, I've achieved my goal. I've informed you about the possible invasion of Hell. If there's nothing else, you should go back and prepare." Kichō Yasha was about to send them away.

"Please wait a moment, I have another question!" Urahara stopped Kichō Yasha. "May I ask, are you familiar with the major powerful forces in Hell? Where do they reside? We haven't encountered them along the way."

"I don't know much about this part either. In Hell, the only thing our family can rely on is the Hell Will, and they happen to be the ones least afraid of the Chains of Hell."

"Our Kitetu Clan has had almost no contact with them. Just like in the Three Worlds era, Bleach and Hollows belong to two separate forces. Human Sinners, because their strength was too low in life, have ultimately never produced any strong ones."

"In Hell, the two sides dislike each other even more, since they can't die, and friction often occurs."

"As for the rest, I don't know, after all, that's not the main area of activity for the Kitetu Clan." Kichō Yasha's information was also fragmented, and she didn't know much.

"These Sinners might be the main fighting force for the future attack on the Three Worlds. Captain Ukitake, when I get back I need to check the list of those who have died in the past thousand years and have been on the combat force list." Urahara said to Ukitake, looking through the records. This was a huge undertaking, Urahara didn't intend to do it alone.

"Of course, no problem." Ukitake readily agreed. The legendary Purification Squad was the logistics support for the Gotei 13, so they were always the right people to handle any task.

"Why are you investigating these things?" Ichigo asked curiously.

"They are very likely to be one of our future enemies. Having the opportunity to find out their preferred fighting style in advance will greatly increase our chances of winning," Urahara said.

"Are you afraid they'll be used as pawns?" Kichō Yasha asked.

"It's one thing if they're just used as tools, but I'm afraid Hell will directly control them, just like you control the Hell Will. In that case, those enemies who defend their immortality will be the most troublesome ones," Tsuna said.

"You speak so eloquently, but have you actually seen it?"

"Unfortunately, the Sinners we just dealt with, the one called Black Blade, was unknowingly controlled by Hell. He serves as a cautionary tale," Tsuna said.

"That sounds terrifying. The game Hell is playing is so grand, manipulating people who belong to the Three Worlds to attack Three Worlds. Those Sinners for Hell are already wicked, making it even easier to incite their destructive desires." Kichō Yasha agreed. Over the years, she had seen far too many Sinners and had never encountered a good one.

"So we still have a lot to prepare. Please take me to get the relevant materials. The sooner we get back, the more we can prepare," Urahara Kisuke said.

Oni-gami Yasha got up and left, and Ukitake decisively followed Urahara Kisuke's footsteps, saying, "I'm also very interested in ancient books, so please take me with you."

"Afraid I'll attack him? Lord Mimihagi's possessor, your excuse is terrible." Oni-gami Yasha asked with a smile.
